Using the provided cables, connect each trigger input jack on the rear panel of the module, and
make sure each pad is connected to its corresponding trigger input jack.
NOTE
1. The sound of the hi-hat pad is controlled by the hi-hat pedal. Similar to an acoustic drum, the hi-
hat pad functions as an “open hi-hat” when the pedal is released. When the pedal is depressed, it
functions as a “closed hi-hat”.
2. By striking areas of the cymbal pad (ride, crash or hi-hat) near the edge of the pad, the sounds
produced are different from the other pads.
CAUTION!
To prevent electric shock and damage to the device, make sure the power is switched OFF
on the drum and all related devices before making any connection.
